The management of the University
of Lagos (UNILAG), Akoka, has withdrawn the admission list for candidates who
have chosen to study in the university during the 2017/2018 academic
session, which it earlier released last week.

The development has created
palpable tension and anxiety among many parents and candidates, especially
those whose names had appeared in the withdrawn list.

The candidates, who are currently
unsure of the current position of things, have called on the authorities to
urgently address the matter and ensure justice.

Confirming the development, the
university’s Deputy Registrar, Information, Mr. Oluwatoyin Adebule, said: “As a
responsible institution, the management withdrew the list to investigate the
veracity of the allegation of irregularities levelled against it.”

According to Adebule, the
withdrawal of the list became important so as to protect the integrity of the
university, saying, “it is not in the character of the institution’s management
to simply gloss over any such allegation.”

He said as soon as the issues are
resolved, the list will be released again.
